MediaTrack* and eel

GetSelectedTrack returns a MediaTrack pointer.

How do I parse it in eel?

I would like to know, first of all. Aside from that I am trying to save the track index of the selected track (only 1 is selected). I think I can do that by looping through the tracks until I find one that is selected. But, it would be nice to get it from the track info instead. And, I imagine there might be other information about the track that I might want from that data structure at some point.

You may want to look at:

Code:

CountTracks(ReaProject* proj)
CountSelectedTracks(ReaProject* proj)
MediaTrack* GetSelectedTrack(ReaProject* proj, int seltrackidx)
double GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(MediaTrack* tr, "parmname")

What are you trying to do? Get first selected track number?

Code:

first_sel_track = GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(GetSelectedTrack(0, 0), "IP_TRACKNUMBER");

Or get all selected track numbers in an array?

Code:

tracks = CountSelectedTracks(0);
i=0;
loop(tracks,
    TrackList[i] = GetMediaTrackInfo_Value(GetSelectedTrack(0, i), "IP_TRACKNUMBER");
    i+=1;
);

I was trying to get the first selected track number. So, GetMediaTrackInfo_Value was what I was looking for. Thanks.
